What were hitlers influences?

Question

adolf hitler hd mny influences on of which was Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince and i know there were other literary influences i just cant nme them any help?

Answer 1

Aside from the demons dancing in his brain the main influence upon Adolf Hitler's racial theories was an Anglo-German with the sonorous name of Houston Stewart Chamberlain. He wrote & lectured about the superiority of Nordic race & culture and the supposed inferority & venality of Jews and others. Chamberlain was influential around the Globe and if one wishes to PO Christians it could be said that he was John the Baptist to A H (that ought to get me a thumbs down).....

Hitler's other big influence was the Music of Richard Wagner. Amidst the soaring music & Nordic Mythology of Richard Wagner, Hitler was able to dream though Hitler's drams were other people's nightmares. I am serious about this influence. Music can inspire and in Hitler, and others, the music of Wagner argued for the superiority & nobility of Germans against the shortcomings of all others.

The final big influence was Karl Lueger who was famous for being anti-Jewish and who wasmayor of Vienna for several years. Lueger was one of the only Austrians whom Hitler regarded as being brilliant, in fact Hitler thought of Lueger as a German who merely happened to be in Austria. Luegar inspired Hitler in many ways not the least of which was in how to give public speeches that riled up the crowd.

"""Richard Wagner (1813-1883) who regarded himself as "the most German of men", "the German spirit" is not only known because of his 13 operas and numerous other compositions but also because of his inevitable influence on our understanding of German culture and history. He has been classified as an anarchist and a socialist and, simultaneously, as a proto-fascist and nationalist, as a vegetarian and an antisemite... In fact, his name has appeared in connection to almost all major trends in German history of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Besides his activity as a composer and a librettist Wagner wrote an astonishing number of books and articles (this link includes some complete works as hypertext), in fact about 230 titles. The literary spectrum ranges from theories of opera to political programs. You may catch some of his political ideas from the quotations I have chosen. You may also read what contemporaries and later scholars have written about him.
In addition to these activities Wagner wrote about 10.000 letters.""

"""Karl Lueger
A burgomaster of Vienna, Austrian political leader and municipal reformer, born at Vienna, 24 October, 1844; died there, 10 March, 1910. His father, a custodian in the Institute of Technology in Vienna, was of a peasant family of Neustadtl in Lower Austria, his mother, the daughter of a Viennese cabinet maker. After completing the elementary schools, in 1854 he entered the Theresianum,Vienna, from which he passed in 1862 to the University of Vienna, enrolling in the faculty of law, taking his degree four years later. After serving his legal apprenticeship from 1866 to 1874, he opened an office of his own and soon attained high rank in his profession by his sure and quick judgment, his exceptionally thorough legal knowledge, and his cleverness and eloquence in handling cases before the court. His generosity in giving his services gratuitously to poor clients, who flocked to him in great numbers, was remarkable, and may account largely for the fact that, although he practised law until 1896, he never became a wealthy man.

In 1872, having decided upon a political career, he joined an independent Liberal political organization, the Citizens' Club of the Landstrasse, one of the districts, or wards, of Vienna. Liberalism, which had guided Austria from aristocracy to democracy in government, was at this period the one political creed the profession of which offered any prospect of success in practical politics. But Liberalism had come to mean economic advancement for the capitalist at the cost of the small tradesman, the capitalist being usually a Jew. The result was an appalling material moral degradation and a regime of political corruption focussed at Vienna, which city in the seventies of the last century was the most backward capital in Europe, enormously overtaxed, and with a population sunk in a lazy indifference, political, economic, and religious. The Jewish Liberalism ruled supreme in city and country public opinion was moulded by a press almost entirely Jewish and anti-clerical; Catholic dogmas and practices were ridiculed; priests and religious insulted in the streets. In 1875 Lueger was elected to the Vienna city council for one year. Reelected in 1876 for a full term of three years, he resigned his seat in consequence of the exposure of corruption in the city administration. Having now become the leader of the anti-corruptionist movement, he was again elected councillor in 1878 as an independent candidate, and threw himself heart and soul into the battle for purity in the municipal government.

In 1882 Lueger's party, called the Democratic was joined by the Reform and by the German National organizations, the three uniting under the name Anti-Semitic party. In 1885 Lueger associated himself with Baron Vogelsang, the eminent social-political worker, whose influence and principles had great weight in the formation of the future Christian Socialists. The year 1885 witnessed, too, Lueger's election to the Reichsrat, where, although the only member of his party in the house, he quickly assumed a leading position. He made a memorable attack on the dual settlement between Austria and Hungary, and against what he bitterly called "Judeo-Magyarism" on the occasion of the Ausgleich between Austria and Hungary in 1886. A renewal of this attack in 1891 almost caused him to be hounded from the house. At his death there were few members of the Austrian Reichsrat who did not share his views. In 1890 Lueger had been elected to the Lower Austrian Landtag; here again he became the guiding spirit in the struggle against Liberalism and corruption. In municipal, state, and national politics he was now the leader of the Anti-Semitic and Anti-Liberal party, the back-bone of which was the union of Christians called variously the Christian Socialist Union and, in Vienna especially, the United Christians, This union developed later into the present (1910) dominant party in Austria, the Christian Socialists. In 1895 the United Christians were strong enough to elect Lueger burgomaster of Vienna, but his majority in the council was too small to be effective and he would not accept. His party returning after the September elections with an increased majority, Lueger was once more elected burgomaster, but Liberal influence prevented his confirmation by the emperor. The council stubbornly reelected him and was dissolved. In 1896 he was again chosen. Not, however, until the brilliant victory of his party, now definitely called the Christian Socialist party, in the Reichsrat elections in 1897, when he was for the fifth time chosen burgomaster, did the emperor confirm the choice.

Lueger's subsequent activity was devoted to moulding and guiding the policy of the Christian Socialist party and to the re-creation of Vienna, of which he remained burgomaster until his death, his re-election occurring in 1903 and 1909. The political ideal of the Christian Socialists is a German-Slav-Magyar state under the Habsburg dynasty, federal in plan, Catholic in religion but justly tolerant of other beliefs, with the industrial and economic advancement of all the people as an enduring political basis. The triumph of the party has conditioned an ever-increasing revival of Catholic religious life and organization of every kind. Under Lueger's administration Vienna was transformed. Nearly trebled in size, it became, in perfection of municipal organization and in success of municipal ownership, a model to the world, in beauty it is now unsurpassed by any European capital. A born leader of the people, Lueger joined to a captivating exterior a fiery eloquence tempered by a real Viennese wit, great organizing power, unsullied loyalty to the Habsburg dynasty, and unimpeachable integrity. Among all classes his influence and popularity were unbounded. A beautiful characteristic was his tender love of his mother; he was himself in turn idolized by children, He was anti-Semitic only because Semitism in Austria was politically synonymous with political corruption and oppressive capitalism. Lueger never married. A fearless outspoken Catholic, the defence of Catholic rights was ever in the forefront of his programme. His cheerfulness, resignation, and piety throughout his last illness edified the nation. His funeral was the most imposing ever accorded in Vienna to anyone not a royal personage. ""

Answer 2

He believed in socialism, fairly communisim, a severe form of socialism the place a single man or woman would nicely be singled out as a dictator and the ideology is that one and all human beings would desire to be allowed to have a job and an coaching and get right of entry to to a wellbeing provider yet then many stuff are limited. Hitler had actual studied paintings and replaced into no longer familiar into an paintings college and grew to become to politics rather. despite if a lot of human beings say that he replaced into an evil guy, it fairly is argued that he needed good for the individuals of Germany.

Marx wrote the concept of a socialist us of a. Lenin and Stalin have been the dictators of Russia, one after the different.

Answer 3

Adolf Hitler Influences

Answer 4

If you can collate a list of people involved in popularising German nationalism and German Racial superiority, you'll have your list. Hitler wasn't so much a literary man to have bothered steeping himself in actual theory. He was moved by oratory and popular pamphlets.

I wish people like the first poster, would stop citing Nietzsche as a source for Nazism. He was thoroughly against German nationalism (if you need evidence, read book five of the Gay Science). In fact, I don't think any contemporary German thinker ever attacked the idea of German nationalism as vehemently as Nietzsche.

Answer 5

I beg to differ with the first poster, I'm always amazed that people still include Friedrich Nietzsche when referring to Hitler's influence. It was his sister and the Nazi who exploited and bastardized Niezsche's writings, particularly his thoughts of an Übermensch. I'm just saying...do some reading first...that's all.

Answer 6

Bearstir answers this better.

I would like to defend Nietzsche, as Hitler was really more influenced by Nietzsche's sister, her husband Bernhard Förster,, and the composer Wagner's circle of "intellectuals", all of whom were virulently anti-Semitic. Nietzsche himself had Jewish friends and condemned the anti-Semites as fools.

Answer 7

He was also influenced by Nietsche's (you might need to check the spelling on this theorist) writings as well.
